Smart RIA Compliance Software
RIA Compliance Group has formed a strategic alliance with Smart RIA, a leader in the field of compliance software for RIAs. With its proprietary Advisor Alert technology, Smart RIA offers the most robust, comprehensive software on the market for helping RIAs grow their business and stay independent while maintaining compliance with federal and state regulations.
Full service SEC and State registration
When examining an RIA, the first document securities regulators see is the firm’s Form ADV. RIAs will not make a good first impression if their Form ADV is inaccurate. Furthermore, an RIA’s Form ADV disclosure brochure must be written in plain English and in language that unsophisticated investors will understand. RIA Compliance Group will work hand-in-hand with you, so that your Form ADV is spot on and captures what makes your firm different from other advisers. A carefully constructed Form ADV disclosure brochure will satisfy regulators and will tell prospective clients what sets you apart from other RIAs.
Ongoing Compliance Assistance Program
RIA Compliance Group offers cost-effective consulting packages to ensure that your firm remains compliant. Our packages offer more consulting time at a price most compliance consulting firms cannot match. Each consulting package provides consulting hours that you can use for any investment advisory compliance issue that arises. No matter what questions or problems you encounter, you can call upon an RIA Compliance Group consultant for guidance and recommendations.
Cybersecurity Program For RIAs
In recent Compliance Outreach Seminars, SEC examiners have announced that they will be scrutinizing investment advisers’ efforts to protect their clients’ sensitive information from cyber threats. State examiners have also started questioning investment advisers about their efforts to implement cybersecurity compliance measures. Because regulators have made cybersecurity policy a high priority, investment advisers must be prepared to demonstrate what steps they have taken to fulfill their obligations in this area.
Mock SEC and State examinations
Whether state or SEC registered, RIAs can expect rigorous examinations of their books and records. In some cases, examinations may be prompted by a tip or complaint. As a result, the experience may be much more adversarial than has been the case in the past.
Advertising content and compliance
RIA Compliance Group understands how important advertising is in growing your business. Company advertising has become a major factor in the online and offline business world. Being aware of the rules and regulations that must be followed can become confusing to those not regularly involved in compliance.
Customized compliance policies and procedures
Securities examiners expect policies and procedures to be customized, which is why RIA Compliance Group tailors compliance manuals to our clients’ business models. These RIA Compliance policies and procedures are designed to protect investors and prevent violations of the securities laws, rules and regulations. By working closely with advisers and guiding them, the consultants at RIA Compliance Group help firms to establish the ground rules for investment adviser representatives and other associated persons.
